- Summary:
-
"Creating family is a magical time for most, but for those reliant on the complexities of IVF, egg, sperm donation and surrogacy, this process can involve years of struggle. It can be a pressure cooker mentally, physically and financially. Each of twenty chapters describes one family's remarkable story of creating via surrogacy. We meet intended parents who are single men, single women, gay and heterosexual couples from ten different nations. Each engaged locally or travelled overseas in the hope of creating family.These stories shine a light on the private stresses - health scares, miscarriage, premature birth, intensive care, bureaucracy, red tape and border closures. Such raw and personal stories inform and demystify the complexities of surrogacy and the intimate dramas experienced often far from home."--Back cover.
